Their 'Chair Banner' was held up in front of their selected key object the Asante stool and Tony described the artworks they would be making on the rest of the project days - two ceremonial deck-chairs and a huge umbrella (called a kyinie) representing those used in some West African state ceremonies. Viv then talked about the Asante stools which are a symbol of power, respect and authority in Africa in the same way that the Royal Throne represents power in this country.

They then wrote down some feelings about the stools in the exhibition some of which have carvings of leopards and elephants which are used to represent the greatness and fierce nature of a King:

"The leopard is kind. He doesn't bite. The leopard thinks it is a King"

This stool looks like a face. This stool helps me think of home. I feel happy about my stool."

Finally the pupils found two different shapes or patterns, drew them and wrote about what they represented. There were symbols of strength, the sun, God and one pupil wrote of his symbols below: "a grand-father passes on to another relation in his family, I will always love you".
